First of all, "no garbage collection" Technically, referencing counting is garbage collection, it's automatic memory management by definition.

Is ARC really a win over non-refcounted GC + escape analysis? Full manual control over stack vs heap allocations and lifetime, I get, especially for games. But reference counting is not deterministic, and can also generate pauses.

@Override has been in Java since Java 5.
